Nectariniidae
Sunbirds and spiderhunters make up the family Nectariniidae of passerine birds. They are small, slender passerines from the Old World, usually with downward-curved bills. Many are brightly coloured, often with iridescent feathers, particularly in the males. Many species also have especially long tail feathers. Their range extends through most of Africa to the Middle East, South Asia, South-east Asia and southern China, to Indonesia, New Guinea and northern Australia.. Species diversity is highest in equatorial regions. There are 152 species in 16 genera. Their family name is from most sunbirds feeding largely on nectar, but they will also catch insects and spiders, especially when feeding their young. Flowers that prevent access to their nectar because of their shape (for example, very long and narrow flowers) are simply punctured at the base near the nectaries, from which the birds sip the nectar. Fruit is also part of the diet of some species. Their flight is fast and direct, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Brown-throated Sunbird
The brown-throated sunbird (''Anthreptes malacensis''), also known as the plain-throated sunbird, is a species of bird in the family Nectariniidae. It is found in a wide range of semi-open habitats in south-east Asia, ranging from Myanmar to the Lesser Sundas and west Philippines. The grey-throated sunbird found in the remaining part of the Philippines is often considered a subspecies of the brown-throated sunbird, but the two differ consistently in measurements and plumage, and there is no evidence of intergradation between them. Taxonomy The following subspecies are recognised: * ''A. m. malacensis'' (Giovanni Antonio Scopoli, Scopoli, 1786) – mainland Southeast Asia, Sumatra and satellite islands, most of Borneo aside from the north, Java and Bali * ''A. m. anambae'' Harry C. Oberholser, Oberholser, 1917 – Anambas Islands Regency, Anambas Islands * ''A. m. erixanthus'' Oberholser, 1932 – Natuna Regency, Natuna Islands * ''A. m. bornensis'' Joseph Harvey Riley, Riley, 1 ...

Little Green Sunbird
The little green sunbird (''Anthreptes seimundi''), also called Seimund's sunbird, is a species of bird in the family Nectariniidae. It is sometimes placed in the genus ''Nectarinia''.

Name The little green sunbird's binomial classification ''Anthreptes seimundi'' comes from its genus and Eibert Carl Henry Seimund, a British Taxidermist. Subspecies *''A. s. seimundi'': Bioko Bioko (; ; ; historically known as Fernando Pó, ) is an island of Equatorial Guinea.

Grey-throated Sunbird
The grey-throated sunbird (''Anthreptes griseigularis'') is a species of bird in the family Nectariniidae. It is found in a wide range of semi-open wooded habitats in the northern and eastern part of the Philippines. It is often considered a subspecies of the brown-throated sunbird, but the two differ consistently in measurements and plumage, and there is no evidence of intergradation between them.Cheke, R.

Red-throated Sunbird
The red-throated sunbird (''Anthreptes rhodolaemus'') is a species of bird in the family Nectariniidae. It is found in Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. It is threatened by habitat loss Habitat destruction (also termed habitat loss or habitat reduction) occurs when a natural habitat is no longer able to support its native species. The organisms once living there have either moved elsewhere, or are dead, leading to a decrease ....
